Lu Jiuqing's face turned pale and he stared at the embarrassed man.

The squatting man stood up straight, looked at her expectantly with his eyes, and patted his chest, making a whining sound, as if to say: It's me, have you remembered?

Lu Jiuqing pursed her lips tightly, then suddenly turned around and left.

The man was stunned and subconsciously raised his feet to follow him, but Yingyue reached out to stop him: "If you dare to follow me again, I will break your legs."

The man was already lame on one leg. When he heard this, he immediately stopped where he was. But his eyes were still staring at Lu Jiuqing's back, as if he wanted to see through that person.

Lu Jiuqing ignored the gazes of the people behind him and walked quickly, letting Yingyue behind him run to catch up with her.

It wasn't until she returned to the front yard and Lu Jiuqing sat on the stool that her expression recovered a little.

Yingyue looked at her nervously: "Girl, what's going on? Is there any problem with that person's identity? I'll deal with it now."

Lu Jiuqing raised his hand to interrupt Yingyue's words and said in a deep voice, "It's nothing. There's no need to ask anymore."

Yingyue: "But you..."

"I'll handle this matter myself, don't worry about it."

"……Yes."

Lu Jiuqing closed her eyes and raised her eyes to look at Yingyue: "You go down first. I have something to talk to Young Master Yang."

Yingyue paused for a moment, then turned and left.

Lu Jiuqing and Yang Yuheng were the only two people left in the yard.

After Lu Jiuqing came back, Yang Yuheng had been looking at Lu Jiuqing's expression, as if he had already guessed what happened.

At this time, Lu Jiuqing pushed everyone away, and Yang Yuheng asked: "Going to the backyard?"

Lu Jiuqing closed his eyes and looked at Yang Yuheng with a heavy gaze: "What's going on?"

Yang Yuheng remained silent, as if he had not thought about what to say.

After a while, Yang Yuheng looked at her: "Have you guessed the identity of that person?"

Lu Jiuqing remained silent, which was regarded as acquiescence.

Yang Yuheng sighed: "I didn't expect you to guess it so quickly. I thought it would take a while."

Lu Jiuqing pursed her lips and said in a deep voice, "He told me."

She looked straight at Yang Yuheng and said word by word: "He used firewood to spell the word 'Tang' on the ground, and clearly told me his identity."

Yang Yuheng: "...He doesn't want to give up."

Lu Jiuqing said in a deep voice: "So can you tell me, Tang Xiuyan, why he appeared in my house?"

Didn't it mean that Tang Xiuyan disappeared a few years ago? How could he appear in his own house and become so virtuous?

"Does this matter have anything to do with A Yuan?" Lu Jiuqing asked in a deep voice.

Yang Yuheng immediately said: "A Yuan is not to blame for this incident, he deserves it."

Lu Jiuqing remained silent and allowed Yang Yuheng to continue.

Yang Yuheng's eyes were full of disgust when he mentioned Tang Xiuyan. He despised this person from the bottom of his heart. If it weren't for Lu Jiuqing, he would still be living in a dilapidated temple begging for a living. How could he become the top scholar with unlimited fame? It's just that this man was so ungrateful that once he gained power, he abandoned Lu Jiuqing, who had single-handedly promoted him, like a worn-out shoe.

Yang Yuheng glanced at Lu Jiuqing and said in a deep voice: "At the beginning, if he had lost his way and found his way back, he would not have become like this. It was his own greed that swallowed the elephant, and he asked for trouble."

Lu Jiuqing: "So, what happened back then that made Tang Xiuyan become what it is now?"
